Note about my Reviews

Dear Authors: The reviews in this blog are only personal opinions. I have absolutely no background in literature, writing or reviewing. I am a Librarian (actually a Library Technician for those who care OR know the difference) with a love for a good story. The opinions in the reviews are ONLY my OPINIONS. I am not commenting on the writers ability since well -- I am not a writer and never will be. If you are the author of any of the books reviewed here, my opinion is just that and not a judgment against you!

Auction #9 - Splinters by Kevin Sylvester

Signed Copy of Splinters by Kevin Sylvester

Description: Cindy Winters loves to play hockey. When her family''s basement
apartment is flooded and the floor freezes, she''s even happy to
skate on the concrete. Her parents are too poor to enroll her in a
league, but she''s resourceful and does odd jobs until she has
earned enough money to play. Armed with her mother''s old
equipment, she is thrilled to join a team. But her happiness
doesn''t last long. Among her teammates are the horrible Blister
Sisters. They make her life miserable. And worse, Cindy''s
sidelined by the coach, who just happens to be Mrs. Blister. It
looks like she''ll be spending the season cleaning equipment,
instead of playing on the ice. Cindy''s luck changes when her Fairy
Goaltender appears and saves the day. With its great good humor and
hilarious illustrations, Kevin Sylvester''s
Splinters is bound to become a favorite.
